Mr.. J. G. Wiley was in the city yester-
DAY, purchasing feeding cattle, which he
VIII take 10 Ellis county to prepare for
the market. This gentlemen is showing
his confidence in the future for the busI-
ness in a substantial way. He is paying
more for his cattle now, he says, then
present prices justify, but anticipating
profitable prices IN the spring. Feed IN
his section is scarce, so there will not be
so many cattle fed there this year as in
former years. lie expects trouble getting
his cattle out after the heavy rain Of yes
terdsy.
The Seymour Scimiuar says that to pun
ish horse for sbying introduces new
cause for fear. The horse will be more
alarmed and show more tokens Of fear at
the prospect of whipping than at the
imaginary object OF danger in the road.
HeDce one bad habit is confirmed by the
Introduction of another. It is impossible
to whip terror out CT horse or pound
courage into one. Kindness and gentle
persuasion are the best wespons to cor
rect the perniciOus habit of shying. The
less fear exhibited by the driver, and the
less notice taken of the shying by using
harsh means, the sooner it will be given
up.

A correspondent in western paper,
after giving his views regarding the en-
croachment Of sheepmen upon cattle
ranges, which he deprecstes, says that a
good result to be expected from it is hat
it will serve in a degree to check he over
increase CT some of the large western
herds. Cattlemen from now on will have
to compete with quality, not quantity
That, II fact, is the condition of affairs st
the present time, and all through the pres
ent depression good beef has brought q
fair price. Any means, then, whereby a
small herd of cattle can be provided with
an sbundauce of not Overstocked range
ought to be considered as highly benef-
CiaI.
Bran is o light that it is popularity be-
ievsd that there is little substance or
value IN it. II warm mashes for COWS it
gives great increase in the milk YIELD,
es every farmer knows. Most OF them
account for this, no weveT, by the belief
that milk is go largely water and thst the
water which COWS drink with the bran is
mainly responsible for the increasing
supply of milk. The American Cultivator
SAYS the substance IN both milk and bran
is greatly undere stimated. Milk, even
after its cream is removed, is 8
very nourishiDg food, and its nutri-
ment is of the kind that the brand is
peculiarly adapted to supply. 1t supplies
the proteine which appears in the albu
men of milk. Precisely the same kind Ct
materials are required to give strength to
working horses. Those who feed bran to
horses largely are most in favor OF it.
One of its advantages is in keeping the
horse from becoming constipated on dry
feed and grain. It is cheap and vslu-
able feed for horses at any time, and es-
pecially while changing their coats in the
spring.
